I listen to this song more than any other, usually the Austin City Limits version. The whole band is just sympatico with Jay on this, especially the magician that is Eric Heywood. I thin this and Angel of the Blues are companion pieces. I wish he would play them! Maybe just too sad.

Left a slide is in my top 5 easy. Just kinda snuck up on me. Didnt jump out at me but over many listens it got better and better. Driving the View did that to me as well. I like Left a Slide alot more though.

Off the beaten path Farrar I like:
No more parades
Mystifies Me (cover)
Blind Hope.. damn thats good
Out on the Road
Vitamins

Not sure of it's exact lyrical meaning... like other songs written by Jay. But this one is in my top 5.

Minefield is the word from the start

You're left with a slide into harm's way

because.......

when i'm tired and thinking cold
i hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl i used to know
i closed my eyes and she slipped away
she slipped away

it's more than a feeling

Why do you have to nail down a meaning? Is a feeling good enough?

for these lamentable exiles it's no surprise that it's a long slow fade.

"In writer-director Paul Schrader's Affliction, small-town New Hampshire looks like hell frozen over. It's a vast meat locker of a locale, except the dead meat is walking around instead of hung up on hooks. The affliction here is metaphoric, but it's literal too. That's the Schrader specialty, and it's also the stock-in-trade of Russell Banks, upon whose 1989 novel the film is scrupulously based. The confluence of Schrader and Banks is almost too perfect -- their dual oppressiveness wipes you out before the movie is ten minutes old.

Wade Whitehouse (Nick Nolte) is the chief afflictee of the piece"
